Excel-powered automation built for real work.
This section showcases VBA-based demos that extend Excel’s capabilities — automating file operations, data handling, and workflow tasks. Each example is designed to show what’s possible with practical automation inside Microsoft Office.
Demo: File Rename Utility
The File Rename Utility scans a selected folder, lists its files, and allows you to bulk rename them directly from Excel. It tracks every change, generates a log, and includes an undo system for safety.
Phase 1: Setup
Start by opening the workbook and enabling macros if prompted. This allows Excel to run the automation features.
Phase 2: Import & Rename
Choose your folder, review the file list, and apply new names in seconds. Each rename is logged automatically for traceability.
Phase 3: Logs & Undo
Each change is stored in a structured log, and you can revert all renames at any time using the built-in Undo feature.
Before You Open the Demo
Before You Open: This Excel workbook contains macros (VBA code), which are required for the automation to work properly.
Macros are a normal and powerful part of Excel — they enable automation that can save hours of repetitive work. As with any executable code, macros should only be opened from trusted sources. Cybear404 provides these demos transparently so you can explore automation safely and understand how it works.
- Scan the file with your antivirus software before opening.
- If your organization has IT policies, confirm you’re allowed to open macro-enabled files.
- Once cleared, right-click the file, choose Properties, and check Unblock if shown.
This ensures the demo runs smoothly while keeping your system secure and compliant.
Note: All file paths and examples shown are from a controlled test environment used for demonstration purposes only.
